National Resource Center on Psychiatric Advance Directives Psychiatric advance directives (PADs) are relatively new legal instruments that may be used to document a competent person’s specific instructions or preferences regarding future mental health treatment, in preparation for the possibility that the person may lose capacity to give or withhold informed consent to treatment during acute episodes of psychiatric illness.
This site offers an introduction to PADs, state-by-state information about psychiatric advance directive laws, instructions and forms, discussion forums, educational webcasts, current research, links to other websites, and more.
